O, I have not forgotten. OKC ``needed`` another VHF to serve as ABC affiliate, so sucked in KGEO 5 from Enid.
Same thing happened in Tulsa, KTVX 8 from Muskogee becoming KTUL.
No doubt similar raids in many other markets

Glenn, don't forget that Enid had a full service "regular" TV station once. KOCO-5 Oklahoma City originally started out as KGEO-5 Enid. I think they may have moved south even by 1960...

** OKLAHOMA. RF17, July 26 in daytime, K17JN-D is definitely back on
air at usual local translator strength with satellator panoply of 3ABN
subchannels; Enid`s only local TV signal, embarrassingly for a city of
50K. For a while we had locally programmed LPTV, KXOK 32, ``TV-OK``,
gone as of 8 years ago. See my log report of July 21, 2015. At least I
still have their mug as a souvenir (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
